Sad Monkey.

Boo000,

I now get to experience the distinct pleasure of getting my iPod repaired. Clutzy me leaned over to pick up something and the darned thing fell right out of my pocket! The screen is nicely shattered thanks to my carelessness. If I'm lucky the Apple person that I talk to will cover the thing under it's still-active warranty. I've heard of this happening to people in the past.

If the repair is going to be ridiculously priced, I don't know what I'll do. This device was a gift, so I'd feel like a douche if I just abandoned it, but if it's going to cost more than it's worth to repair it, I'd feel like a knob for wasting money that I don't have. I guess I'll wait until my appointment with the "Genius" bar tomorrow -- Yes, you need to make an appointment to speak with Apple's entry level tech support, I think that silly in it's own right. -- when I'll find out what this is likely to cost me.
